“…There are cases in which these advanced and sophisticated systems are available in the hospital but residents do not find the time or motivation to use them for training. VR realism and interaction might not be critical for their didactic valué, but are often [82]. It can even happen that such systems will créate a false sense of security, built on the development of incorrect habits while getting used to a virtual environment.…”

Training and assessment paradigms for laparoscopic surgical skills are evolving from traditional mentortrainee tutorship towards structured, more objective and safer programs. Accreditation of surgeons requires reaching a consensus on metrics and tasks used to assess surgeons' psychomotor skills. Ongoing development of tracking systems and software Solutions has allowed for the expansión of novel training and assessment means in laparoscopy. The current challenge is to adapt and include these systems within training programs, and to exploit their possibilities for evaluation purposes. This paper describes the state of the art in research on measuring and assessing psychomotor laparoscopic skills. It gives an overview on tracking systems as well as on metrics and advanced statistical and machine learning techniques employed for evaluation purposes. The later ones have a potential to be used as an aid in deciding on the surgical competence level, which is an important aspect when accreditation of the surgeons in particular, and patient safety in general, are considered. The prospective of these methods and tools make them complementary means for surgical assessment of motor skills, especially in the early stages of training. Successful examples such as the Fundamentáis of Laparoscopic Surgery should help drive a paradigm change to structured curricula based on objective parameters. These may improve the accreditation of new surgeons, as 1 To whom correspondence and reprint requests should be addressed at Bioengineering and Telemedicine Centre (GBT), ETSI Telecomunicación, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM).

“…[16][17][18][19] It was also indicated that such residents can quickly learn endoscopical techniques and perform better. [20] Nonetheless, studies have also compared computer game players with non-players and lefthand dominance with right-hand dominance in the context of laparoscopic surgery training and determined that right-hand dominance provided fewer unnecessary movements, faster learning, and fewer errors. [21] In the same study, residents having experience with computer games made fewer mistakes than non-players.…”

Objectives: Direct laryngoscopy is a conventional method that has been taught in endotracheal intubation training. However, it is difficult to become skilled. Videolaryngoscopy has become a widely accepted technique for training both novice and inexperienced medical staff on airway management. We aimed to compare the performances of novices using direct and indirect laryngoscopes. Materials and methods: Fifty eight first-year anesthesia nurse students without previous tracheal intubation experience were included in the study. Standard size 3 Macintosh, Miller, McCoy, McGrath, Storz C-Mac laryngoscopes were used. The participants were asked to intubate the AirMan manikin five times with each device. The participants were also asked for their familiarity with computer games. After all the students completed their fifth intubations; the duration of successful tracheal intubation, number of attempts, success rate, severity of the dental trauma, and the used optimization maneuvers were recorded in the course of students' sixth intubations. Results: Time to successful intubation was the shortest for C-Mac laryngoscope with 5.34±2.19 sec. The requirement of optimization maneuvers (12.1%) and additional intubation attempts (1.7%) were significantly lower with C-Mac and McGrath laryngoscopes compared to Macintosh, Miller and McCoy laryngoscopes (p<0.001). Dental trauma incidence was significantly lower during the use of C-Mac laryngoscope (p<0.001). The VAS score on the ease of intubation were significantly lower with C-Mac laryngoscope. No advantages related to the familiarity with computer games were documented. Conclusion: In conclusion, C-Mac was observed to provide a higher overall success rate for tracheal intubation and less dental trauma incidence when it was used in a normal airway scenario.Keywords: Airway; intubation; laryngoscope.Normal havayolu senaryosunda beş farklı laringoskopa ait randomize, crossover, manken bazlı bir çalışma Dental travma insidansı C-Mac laringoskop kullanımında anlamlı olarak daha düşüktü (p<0.001).

Sonuç: Sonuç olarak normal havayolu senaryosunda C-Mac'ın trakeal entübasyon için daha yüksek genel başarı oranı ve daha düşük dental travma insidansı sağladığı ortaya konuldu.Anahtar sözcükler: Havayolu; entübasyon; laringoskop.

“…Experimental studies in very specific areas of gaming were excluded if they had been extensively reviewed before, such as studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging or electroencephalography [29,30] and the use of videogames being beneficial to surgical skills [21,31], unless the study also included a specific examination of cognitive skills using an experimental design. The search led to 18 papers (see Figure 1) being published in three areas examining cognitive skills: (i) multi-second time perception (4 studies), inhibition (7 studies), and decision-making (7 studies).…”
